The golf world rarely gets a chance to pick round match-ups and actually see the guys go head-to-head with one winner walking away. Match play does that, and this week at the Accenture we get to see the best in the world take over the desert in Marana in hopes of escaping match after match […]

Tiger Woods commits to the Match Play, Honda Classic and Cadillac Championship
February 13, 2013 by
There is no real shock that Tiger Woods will be at next week’s Accenture Match Play (besides the fact that Phil Mickelson will be skipping the WGC event once again), but it is nice to hear that Woods will be hitting up three events in a row on the PGA Tour. Starting next week, expect […]
Can an matchplay golf match be played over a single day?
October 25, 2012 by
QUESTION: I don’t have much knowledge about golf. I’d like to know a little more about how matchplay works – especially Irish matchplay. Also, which is usually longer in duration – a standard strokeplay match or a standard matchplay match? ANSWER:
Match 8: Colsaerts/Westwood defeat Stricker/Woods
September 29, 2012 by
Well…that didn’t quite go according to plan. Tiger Woods played well enough to redeem himself from his morning loss, but Ryder rookie Nicolas Colsaerts played absolutely out of his mind, throwing down eight birdies (winning five of them) to give the Europeans their lone afternoon victory. It’s not that Tiger was bad, necessarily; it’s just […]

Nobody has time to sit down and watch four rounds five days worth of match play coverage — unless, of course, you watch TV for a living, and if that’s the case, please email us your number. So in an effort to condense the tournament coverage for you into […]
Hunter Mahan makes a statement with his Match Play victory
February 27, 2012 by
A professional golf career can sometimes be defined by one shot (just ask Jean Van De Velde), and for the last year-plus, Hunter Mahan’s entire career has been summed by just that: a single shot. We’ve all seen the shot before (heck, NBC replayed it countless times this week) of Mahan standing over his chip […]
Hunter Mahan seems to be finding his groove at the Match Play
February 26, 2012 by
If we’ve learned anything from watching the NCAA Tournament over the years, it’s that even the most suspect teams can catch lighting in a bottle for a couple of weeks and make a deep run. You know the team I’m talking about. The squad has a ton of talent, but for one reason or another, […]
